Publication 2755-6.14 Software Overview Introduction The StrataScan bar Code Readers are all programmable through Allen-Bradley’s DOS–based software entitled StrataSet. With StrataSet, you have the ability to program your reader or upload reader configurations without the need to scan any bar codes. Once the reader is connected by the proper RS-232 cable to an IBMcompatible PC XT, AT, or PS/2, you can choose reader configuration options from StrataScan’s menus. After the desired parameters are chosen, the configuration settings can be downloaded from the PC to the reader. StrataSet also allows you to save configuration screens for later use and allows you to upload and save existing reader setups. With this method, programming a number of readers with the same parameters is much easier and eliminates the need to establish configurations by scanning a list of bar codes. You will need the following items to use StrataSet: • StrataSet diskette • Windows 95 or Windows NT, MS-DOS, IBM PC XT, AT or PS/2 compatible (386 or greater is recommended) • Available RS-232C serial port • One of the previously mentioned Allen-Bradley readers with appropriate RS-232 cable setup (2755-LHC-11 or -12). Starting the StrataSet Program To familiarize yourself with the StrataSet, access the StrataSet program and review the menus discussed on the following pages before entering Program Mode. Before using StrataSet, make a backup copy of the diskette. You can run the StrataSet file from the floppy disk provided or you can copy the file to your hard disk. For faster processing time and greater free disk space, it is recommended that you copy the STRATCFG.EXE file to your hard disk, under a specified directory (e.g., C:\STRATCFG). To avoid potential problems, do not power up the reader until the communication cable is secured to the host. Publication 2755-6.14 1–2 Variable Content TTL:Chap Is Linked To HD:Running To start the Stratascan software: 1. Turn off power to PC and the reader. 2. Connect the communication cable provided, between the reader and the RS-232C serial port (COM 1 or COM 2) located on the PC. 3. Turn on the PC and the reader. 4. Change to the subdirectory where the STRATCFG.EXE file is stored. 5. At the DOS prompt, type STRATCFG and press ENTER. Note: If you are using a monochrome monitor and are having difficulty seeing the highlighted menu choices, quit and restart the program by typing STRATCFG/B at the DOS prompt. If you are still experiencing difficulty seeing the highlighted menu choice, look for the blinking cursor. Using StrataSet Menus All the choices needed to configure your reader are available through pop-up windows that appear when ENTER is pressed at any of the menu headings. At the Main Menu, highlight Configuration Screen (or press 1)and press ENTER to view the Configuration Screen. Use the following method to view a pop-up menu: 1. Use the TAB, up, down, left, or arrow keys to move the highlight to the desired menu choice. 2. Once the menu choice is highlighted, press ENTER. A pop-up menu then appears with various option choices. Use the following method to select item(s) from within the pop-up menu: 1. Use the PAGE UP, PAGE DOWN, up arrow or down arrow keys to position the cursor on the desired option. 2. If the menu is a multiple choice menu, such as the Interface menu, press ENTER to select the desired option. If the menu contains brackets [ ], then you may either select or deselect the particular option. Press the SPACE BAR to toggle the selection and then hit ENTER when all selections are complete. Publication 2755-6.14 Variable Content TTL:Chap Is Linked To HD:Running Keyboard Commands 1–3 The following keys perform a given function as described below. Function Key Description ENTER To display a list of options for a given vertical field within the Configuration Screen or to select a Main Menu screen choice, position the cursor on the desired field and press ENTER. ENTER will also allow you exit from a pop-up window menu. SPACE BAR Within the pop-up window menus, an option may have a left and right bracket before the menu choice. These options can either be enabled or disabled. To enable or disable an option, position the cursor on the menu choice and press the SPACE BAR key. When a check mark is within the brackets, the option is enabled. ESC Exit Escape will also allow you to escape out of most situations. F1 Help For a brief description of the function of a vertical menu, position the cursor on the desired field and press F1. To exit help, press ESC. If you are within the Configuration Screen, hitting F3 puts the reader into Program Mode. F3 Enter Program Mode or Create Choice File If you are at the Main Menu screen, F3 allows you to generate a text file, listing all options a particular configuration file has enabled. For example, if you want a listing of all the enabled settings your reader has, refer to Program Mode, Getting Scanner Settings and Saving Settings to File. Select the filename from the file list, hit F3 and a file listing all enabled choices within that file is created in your working directory. This file will share the same filename, except that it will have a .set extension. F5 Program Scanner After the desired parameters are selected in the Configuration Screen, press F5 to program the reader to those same settings. (This assumes you have already entered Program Mode successfully.) F7 Save Parameters To save the various parameters selected in the Configuration Screen, press F7. The settings are then saved in a file for future reference and programming. When assigning a filename, use the proper DOS convention. StrataSet automatically saves the file with the extension .TRK. The file is saved to the same drive and directory from which StrataSet is being run. F9 Return to Main Menu or Delete File If you select File List from the Main Menu, you are able to delete files by hitting F9. You will be prompted to verify your selection (ESC terminates the process). If you are within the Configuration Screen, pressing F9 returns you to the Main Menu. Publication 2755-6.14 1–4 Variable Content TTL:Chap Is Linked To HD:Running StrataSet Main Menu The following sections describe the menu choices available from the StrataSet Main Menu. Configuration Screen Press 1 to activate this option, or move the cursor to this location and hit ENTER. By choosing this option, you will enter the Configuration screen, where custom reader configurations can be created. Publication 2755-6.14 Variable Content TTL:Chap Is Linked To HD:Running 1–5 This screen also allows you to save and/or download configurations to the reader. The settings first displayed are the StrataSet RS232 default settings, not the reader settings. With the methods described under “Using the StrataSet Menus” you are able to move around this screen and change options. After configuring the screen for your particular application, you can save the screen to a file, download the settings to the reader, or both. Get Scanner Settings Press 2 to activate this option, or move the cursor to this location and hit ENTER. This option lets you view the reader’s configuration by uploading the information from the reader through your PC’s COM port. You must first enter Program Mode to initialize communications between the PC and the reader. (See Enter Program Mode for more information). Once you have entered Program Mode and selected this option, the configuration screen displays the reader’s programmed parameters. The reader beeps once if it has successfully entered Program Mode. The reader beeps again (either 3 times for the 2755-LHR-3C or 5 times for the 2755-LHR-5B, 5C and 5BX1) when it has transmitted its configuration. You must exit Program Mode after getting the reader’s configuration, before you can resume normal scanning. (See Exit Program Mode for more information). File List Press 3 to activate this option or move the cursor to this location and hit ENTER. By choosing this option, a list of .TRK files residing in the current directory is displayed. After highlighting a filename, you can hit ENTER and the file is transferred to the Configuration screen. You can delete the file by pressing F9, or hit F3 to generate a .SET file listing all enabled reader options in that file. Select Com Port Press 4 to activate this option, or move the cursor to this location and hit ENTER. This option allows you to select either Com1 or Com2. You may be prompted to select a Com Port during various steps of the programming or uploading sequence. Enter Program Mode Press 5 to activate this option, or move the cursor to this location and hit ENTER. This function prepares the reader for communication interfacing. One long beep from the reader indicates a successful entry into program mode. Publication 2755-6.14 1–6 Variable Content TTL:Chap Is Linked To HD:Running Exit Program Mode Press 6 to activate this option or move the cursor to this location and hit ENTER. This option causes the reader to exit programming mode. Three beeps from the reader indicates a successful exit from Program Mode. Note that if you program the reader from the Configuration screen, the program exits Program Mode if you press F5. Once you exit Program Mode, you are then able to resume normal scanning. Software Compatibility Press 7 to activate this option, or move the cursor to this location and hit ENTER. This option returns the firmware version installed in the reader and specifies if it is compatible with existing StrataScan software. Hitting any key returns you to the current screen. To perform this test, it is not necessary to enter Program Mode first. Exit to DOS Press 8 to activate this option, or move the cursor to this location and press ENTER. This option closes the program and returns you to the DOS prompt or Windows. Publication 2755-6.14 Configuring your Reader Introduction By selecting “Configuration Screen” from the Main Menu, you are able to access a menu screen from where you can setup custom reader configurations, save configurations to a file, and program your reader. This screen is divided into sections that let you customize your reader configuration. To provide you with easier programming, some of the parameters in the sections automatically change when you choose from the different interface types (RS232 or Wand Emulation). It is recommended that you review all the pop–down menu options, if interface types are changed. To program your reader, you must first put the reader into Program Mode, in order to establish communications between the reader and your host. By pressing F3 while in the Config screen you will enter the Program mode. Or you can enter the Program mode from the Main Menu. Make sure the program is selecting the same Com Port as the one to which you are connected. A successful entry into Program Mode is indicated by: a beep from the reader and the green LED begins to flash. Once you have entered Program Mode, press F5 to download the current configuration screen contents to your reader. Again, you will hear a series of beeps from the reader. Once the reader has completed its processing of the downloaded configuration, you will hear a 3–beep sequence. The green LED then stops flashing, signaling that the reader is ready to scan. To save a configuration to a file, hit F7. You are then prompted for a filename. The filename automatically gets a .TRK extension. Follow normal DOS conventions for naming files. If the file already exists, you will be prompted as to whether you want to overwrite the existing file or not. If you need a printout of all the enabled options from a particular reader, get the reader’s settings and save the configuration to a file. Go to the main screen File List, highlight the appropriate filename, and hit F3. A text file is then created in your working directory listing all the enabled choices in that configuration. The file has the same filename as the one you selected, except for a .set extension. Use a text editor to print the configuration file. Not all options listed within the Configuration Screen are currently supported by the reader. If an option is not supported, this document will specify what that option is. Publication 2755-6.14 2–2 Configuring your Reader Configuring the Reader Refer to the following steps to configure the StrataScan Bar Code Readers (Catalog Nos. 2755-LHR-5B, 2755-LHR-3C, 2755-LHR-5C and 2755-LHR-5BX1). 1. Verify that your personal computer has the STRATCFG Programming Software version 4.19 or later loaded onto it. 2. Double–click on the STRATCFG icon or execute the file. 3. Select the Configuration screen from the Main Menu. 4. Review your programming options. If the defaults are acceptable for your application, press F3. If the defaults are not acceptable, change the parameters accordingly. 5. Press ENTER once the settings are correct. The reader is now in Program Mode. The green LED on the reader flashes while the red LED remains lit. A beep is emitted from the reader as well. 6. Press F9 to exit Program Mode. Use the down arrow key to select Exit Mode. 7. Press ENTER. The green LED stops flashing and the laser turns on. 8. Exit StrataSet software. The reader is now configured to read bar codes. Publication 2755-6.14 Configuring your Reader Configuration Options 2–3 The following sections describe the various StrataScan Configuration options available for the StrataScan Bar Code Readers. Interface Format This upper left–hand corner of the Configuration Screen gives you the ability to specify the proper communications format, along with all of an interface’s associated options. Specifying options is accomplished for communicating to your host device. And when you change between different interfaces, the Configuration screen changes accordingly. It lets you change all options supported by that interface and protects all those unsupported ones by means of cursor skip–over. The StrataScan line of Readers supports RS232/RS422 and wand emulation. Choose an interface that matches your host system requirements. Select the RS232/RS422 option, if the reader is intended to be used with either RS-232 ± 12V or RS422 serial output. StrataSet software uses this interface to configure your reader. Select Wand Emulation if the reader is used in place of a wand. It provides Wand Emulation of each bar code scanned. Refer to the section about Wand Type interface format for specific information about Wand Emulation options. The No Communication option is reserved for testing purposes. If no communication is selected, then the center of the left–hand side of your Configuration screen is empty. Publication 2755-6.14 2–4 Configuring your Reader Code Types This portion of the Configuration Screen lets you specify the various bar code types to enable or disable for your application. Within the Codes Menu Screen, you may enable or disable the codes you want your reader to see or ignore. If a code is enabled, a check mark appears between the two brackets. Then the reader recognizes the enabled type of bar code. The types of codes are: • All UPC/EAN • Code 39 • Full ASCII Code 39 • Code 39 Mod 43 check digit required • Code 93 • Code 128 • Codabar • I2 of 5 • I2 of 5 Mod 10 check digit required • EAN-8 disable, EAN-13 disable, UPC-E disable, UPC-A disable • Paraf Publication 2755-6.14 Configuring your Reader 2–5 Supplementals This box in the Configuration screen gives you the ability to select supplemental support options. Not all supplemental options are currently supported. Publication 2755-6.14 2–6 Configuring your Reader Supplemental Type Publication 2755-6.14 Description 2 Digit When this option is enabled, the reader scans bar codes that have 2-digit supplementals. 5 Digit When this option is enabled, the reader scans bar codes that have 5-digit supplementals. 977 (2–Digit) When this option is enabled, the reader requires that a 2-digit supplement be attached to an EAN-13 bar code whenever the bar code begins with 977. Bookland When this option is enabled, the reader requires that a 5-digit supplement be attached to an EAN-13 bar code, whenever the bar code begins with 978. Redundancy 2 Digits When this option is enabled, the reader scans the bar code plus the 2-digit add-on twice, before accepting the data as valid information. Redundancy 5 Digits When this option is enabled, the reader scans the bar code plus the 5-digit add-on twice, before accepting the data as valid information. Require Supps When this option is enabled, all UPC/EAN labels that are scanned must have a supplement. 100 ms to find Supps When this option is enabled, the reader looks for a supplement attached to a bar code, for a maximum of 100 msec. 200 ms to find Supps When this option is enabled, the reader looks for a supplement attached to a bar code, for a maximum of 200 msec. Code 128 Coupon Option When this option is enabled, the reader scans UPC-A, followed by a Code 128 supplement attached. Code 128 Coupon Conversion When this option is enabled and when Code 128 coupon option is enabled, a ]C1 is transmitted between the UPC-A bar code and Code 128 supplement. 378/379 lock on supplement When this option is enabled, all EAN-13 labels are expected to have a 5-digit supplement attached, when the bar code begins with a 378 or 379. Remote supplement required When this option is enabled, the host can enable/ disable supplements required, with an ‘R’ (disable requirement) and an ‘N’ (enable requirement). Configuring your Reader 2–7 Miscellaneous This section provides you with the ability to select various miscellaneous functions including beep before/after transmit, communication timeouts, multiple scan buffers, and others. Publication 2755-6.14 2–8 Configuring your Reader Miscellaneous Type Beep after transmitting Beep before transmitting When this option is enabled, the reader beeps before each bar code is transmitted. Faster Beep/Same Tone When this option is enabled, the beeper tone remains the same, but the beep duration is approximately 1/2 normal duration. Lost Communication Timeout When this option is enabled, the reader automatically times out after 2 seconds, if unable to complete its data transmission to the host. This is only valid in modes where some type of handshaking is involved. 3 beeps on timeout When this option is enabled, the reader beeps 3 times when communications have timed out. Lost communication timeout must be enabled for this option to be valid. razz beep on timeout When this option is enabled, the reader produces a razzberry tone when communications have timed out. Lost communication timeout must be enabled for this option to be valid. 5 retrys before timeout When this option is enabled, the reader attempts to re-establish communications 5 times before timing out. Lost communication timeout must be enabled for this option to be valid. Support ‘D/E’ disable/enable commands When this option is enabled, the reader suspends scanning when it receives an ASCII ‘D’ from the host device. All timing functions continue. If the reader receives an ASCII ‘d’, scanning is again suspended, plus all buffers are cleared as well. Scanning resumes when the reader receives an ASCII ‘E’ or ‘e’. This feature only works with RS-232 communication. Support ‘F/L’ Laser off/on commands When this option is enabled, an ASCII ‘F’ turns off the lasers and ASCII ‘L’ turns on the lasers. Disable segmented decoding This option disables UPC Split Code Algorithm. This feature allows for increased scanning accuracy in reading poor quality bar codes, but may slightly reduce the aggressiveness of the reader. Table continued on the next page. Publication 2755-6.14 Description When this option is enabled, the reader beeps after each bar code is transmitted. If ACK/NAK is enabled, the reader always beeps after receiving the ACK command. Configuring your Reader Miscellaneous Type 2–9 Description 1, 2, 4 and 8 Compare Buffers The option selected here determines how many bar codes are buffered in reference to same symbol comparisons. This value should always be equal to or greater than the number of different bar codes you expect to scan on each package to avoid the potential of double reads. Scan Count When this option is enabled, the reader enters scan count test mode. Do not enable this feature unless instructed to do so by a Rockwell Automation representative. Reverse LED convention Normal LED convention calls for the red LED to signify power/ready to scan and the green LED for transmit indicator. When this option is enabled, the functions of the two LED’s are switched. Support multiple beep ‘B’/ razz ‘Z’ commands When this option is enabled, the reader recognizes a multiple beep/razz command from the host. The command is a number, from 1 to 9, followed by an ASCII ‘B’ or an ASCII ‘Z’. Support host BEL/CANCEL commands When this option is enabled, the reader beeps when it receives a BEL (07H) command from the host. If ACK/NAK is enabled, a BEL command causes the reader to beep 3 times, if sent first after a bar code is transmitted. Or it will cause the reader to beep once if ACK/NAK is not enabled. If a CAN (18H) command is sent from the host, the reader exits out of its communication loop without a beep and clears all buffers. Enter program mode only after power-up Normally, you may enter Program Mode at any time. When this option is enabled, you are restricted to entering Program Mode, between initial power–up and before your first scan only. If you select this option and need to modify the reader parameters after several scans, merely power–down and power–up the reader again. Then enter into Program Mode before scanning again. Enable status reporting When this option is enabled, the host can initiate a status report download from the reader with a CTRL P command (10H). Status information includes motor status, laser status, decode board status, scan counts per field since last power-up, slave status and non-volatile memory status. Number of good scans required (1–8) This number, from 1 to 8, is a redundancy counter which refers to the number of times the reader must scan a bar code, before it considers it a good scan and transmits the bar code. The default of 1 is usually fine for most symbologies. Values greater than 1 may be needed when data integrity is most critical. Note that as the number of good scans required is increased, aggressiveness will decrease. Table continued on the next page. Publication 2755-6.14 2–10 Configuring your Reader Miscellaneous Type Publication 2755-6.14 Description Special code select When this option is enabled and the Enter key is hit on this choice, a custom reader parameters window appears. This window allows you to select up to 5 code and length–specific code selects. The reader only scans those codes at the programmed lengths entered here. When used in conjunction with Package Detect and multiple scans per activation, the reader scans and buffers the programmed bar codes. It transmits them in the order that they were programmed within the window. See Package Detect and Multiple Scans per activation for more details. Use the arrow keys to move around the screen. Use the Enter key to save the current code select choice and advance to the next choice. Use the backspace key to go back to the previous choice. Hit F10 to save these settings and return to the configuration screen or hit Escape to exit without saving changes. Normal/Loud Volume Select the desired loudness with these 2 options. Support ‘M/O’ motor on/off commands When this option is enabled, the reader accepts ‘M’ motor on and ‘O’ motor off commands from the host. The motor off command causes the lasers to go off, the motor to shut down, and the power LED to go off. A motor on condition turns the motor back on and the power LED to come on. The lasers do not turn on until the motor comes up to full speed (approx. 45-50 seconds). Support non–decode hand–held port This option enables the reader to support an undecoded hand–held reader connnected the hand–held port. When this option is enabled, the HH (Hand– Held reader option) window at the bottom of the configuration screen displays all currently supported Hand–Held options. Configuring your Reader 2–11 Package Detect This section provides you with all the choices currently supported for Package Detect options. Special software is not required to support the following options. The appropriate hardware comes standard internal to the 2755-LHB-1 Interface Box and reader. The hardware interfaces with up to 2 Package Detect inputs and an Output/Alarm Output. Publication 2755-6.14 2–12 Configuring your Reader Output/Package Detect Type Support package detect Support package detect alarm input When this option is enabled, the reader produces a steady stream of beeps, if the sensor alarm is activated. Transmit ‘No Read’ message on package detect timeout When this option is enabled, the reader transmits ‘NO READ’ if a no read condition occurs. If a custom message is desired, refer to programmable no read message (see below). This function also supports the following prefixes and suffixes: TAB prefix, CR, LF, ETX, STX, programmable prefixes and suffixes, and TAB suffix. Scans per package detect activation (1-5) This option allows you to determine how many different bar codes the reader expects to see per sensor activation. To avoid multiple reads of the same bar code, make sure the same symbol timeout is set accordingly and the number of scan buffers is equal to or greater than this number. Scanner activation time after package detection (sec) Support Package Detect must be enabled first before a value can be entered here. The value here determines how long the reader will look for a bar code before timing out. If the value is less than 9 seconds (minimum of .1 seconds), the reader will be active for this amount of time. If the value is greater than 9 seconds, the reader remains active as long as the Package Detect is active. If dual line sensor is enabled, this value is forced to 9.9 seconds. Support AC output When this option is enabled, the reader will activate the output according to the selections below. Table continued on the next page. Publication 2755-6.14 Description When this option is enabled, scanning is disabled until a Package Detect activation is detected. In the first mode, if the scan duration (see below) is set for less than 9 seconds, the reader is active for scanning for the programmed scan duration. In the second mode, if scan duration is set for greater than 9 seconds, the reader is active for scanning as long as the sensor remains active. After a scan cycle completes, the sensor must turn off momentarily before the next valid activation is recognized. In the third mode, dual line sensor support, this value is automatically set to 9.9 seconds. Configuring your Reader Output/Package Detect Type 2–13 Description AC output Controlled by Host (DC2/DC4) When this option is enabled, the host assumes full control for activating and deactivating the Output. To turn the Output on, the host must send a CTRL R (12H) character. To turn the Output off, the host must send a CTRL T (14H) character. The support Output option must be enabled first in order to select this option. AC output Normally On The default mode of the reader is to have the Output normally off. When this option is enabled, the Output is normally on. Enable Read and Match mode This option is an Output function. Support Output must be enabled before this option is valid. When this option is enabled, the reader stores in memory the next bar code it reads after either powering–up or after being programmed via StrataSet. The reader emits a unique beep sequence as an indicator that it’s taking the bar code as a read and match bar code. From that point on, the Output operates according to whether output on good read/match is enabled or output on bad match is enabled. Normally, if this option is enabled, a new read and match bar code is stored after each power-up and after each StrataSet programming session. If desired, you may enable save read and match bar code (see below) to preserve the read and match bar code, if power is lost. Activate AC output if good read/match This option is an Output function. Support Output must be enabled before this option is valid. When this option is enabled, if read and match is enabled (see above), this feature reads “Output on a good match”. The Output will turn on every time a scanned bar code matches the read and match bar code. If read and match is not enabled, the feature reads “fire Output on good read”. The Output turns on every time the reader scans a good read. Activate AC output if bad match This option is a read and match function as well as an Output function. Both options must be enabled before this option is valid. When this option is enabled, the Output turns on every time a scanned bar code does not match the read and match bar code. See Enable read and match option above for details on setting up for read and match mode. Activate AC output if no read This option is a Package Detect function as well as an Output function. Both options must be enabled before this option is valid. When this option is enabled, the Output will turn on if a no read condition occurs. A no read condition occurs if the reader reaches a sensor timeout before a bar code is scanned (see support Package Detect) It also occurs if the line sensor turns off before a bar code is read (if scan duration is greater than 9 seconds). Table continued on the next page. Publication 2755-6.14 2–14 Configuring your Reader Output/Package Detect Type AC output Duration (sec) Delay Time before activating AC output (sec) The value entered here determines how long the reader delays after its normal activation time before acivating the output. The default value of 0.0 should be sufficient for almost all applications. Use this option only if it is impossible to mount the reader at the Output location. Enable programmable ‘No Read’ message When this option is enabled, you will be able to program your own no read message. The message can be up to 10 characters long and can include any of the human readable ASCII set (20h to 7fh). Note that the message is right–justified when transmitted from the reader. If this option is being used with Wand Emulation output, the reader defaults to output as Code 39 so the message must be within the normal Code 39 range of characters. Retain same symbol timers after package detect cycle ends Under normal Package Detect support conditions, the reader resets scan buffers after a complete sensor cycle. Same symbol timers prevent multiple reads during the scan cycle. But as soon as the cycle completes and the next Package Detect is recognized, all buffers are cleared and the reader scans any bar codes in the field. When retain same symbol buffers with Package Detect is enabled, same symbol timers do not automatically reset after a completed sensor cycle. Rather, they reset after the same symbol timer times out. This feature can be useful under these 3 conditions: packages are spaced relatively closely, the bar codes on consecutive packages are the same and the possibility of a package triggering a Package Detect while the box is still in the scan field exists. Save read and match bar code if power–down Under normal operations, when read and match mode is used, a new read and match bar code is stored immediately after the reader has been powered–up or after the reader has been programmed through StrataSet. When save read and match bar code on power–down is enabled, the read and match bar code is saved during a power-down, and a new read and match is only accepted after programming the reader. Support dual package detect inputs When this option is enabled, the reader uses the current line sensor ALARM input as the second Package Detect input. The current line sensor input acts as the start of activation cycle, and the second Package Detect input acts as the end of activation cycle. Table continued on the next page. Publication 2755-6.14 Description The value entered here determines how long the Output/alarm output remains active. Configuring your Reader Output/Package Detect Type 2–15 Description Buffer scans until package detect cycle completes StrataScan Readers have the ability to buffer all bar codes as they are scanned (with Package Detect support enabled). If this option is enabled, all scanned bar codes are buffered during the active sensor cycle and are not transmitted, until the activation cycle has completed. This feature is supported with all 3 Package Detect mode options. If this feature is not enabled, all scanned bar codes are transmitted as they are scanned. This option does not apply to the special code select feature, which always buffers incoming bar codes. Enable host package detect emulation When this option is enabled, the host simulates the Package Detect input(s) by sending an ‘S’ (53h) character and an ‘X’ (58h) character. If dual Package Detects is enabled, the ‘S’ simulates the Package Detect input 1 and the the ‘X’ simulates the Package Detect input 2. If a finite scan duration is being used, the ‘S’ character starts the cycle. If scan duration > 9 seconds (reader active until the sensor goes away), the ‘S’ starts the cycle and the ‘X’ ends the cycle. Scan Range This section provides depth of field options. Long depth of field should be enabled in all StrataScan Readers. The 2 reserved options are not currently supported and are reserved for future use. Publication 2755-6.14 2–16 Configuring your Reader Reserve Codes This section provides 98 reserved functions available to enable future special software features. Do not enable any reserve codes unless told to do so by a company representative. RS232 Format This section provides you with all the interface format–specific options. If RS232 is selected in the Interface Format menu, these menus are displayed as RS232 specific menus. Publication 2755-6.14 Configuring your Reader 2–17 Baud Rate Rate Baud Rate Description Data is transferred at either 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, or 38400 baud. Data Format These choices represent the parity of the data byte. Parity is an extra bit attached to the transmitted data byte and is used to catch potential single-bit data transmission errors. The reader’s parity must match the host’s parity. Publication 2755-6.14 2–18 Configuring your Reader RS232 Type Data Format Description Odd Select odd to make the parity bit either a 0 or 1, to guarantee an odd number of ones. Space Select space to make the parity bit always 0. Even Select even to make the parity bit either a 0 or 1, to guarantee an even number of ones. Mark Select mark to make the parity bit always 1. None Select none and the parity bit time is skipped. 7 or 8 Data Bits Select between 7 and 8 data bits per data byte, depending on the requirements of your host. 1 or 2 Stop Bits Select between 1 and 2 stop bits per data byte, depending on the requirements of your host. Note: The StrataScan line of Readers supports either 10 or 11 bit data words. You cannot choose a data byte format that is not either 10 or 11 data bits total (including 1 start bit). For example, you cannot select 7 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity, since this would constitute a 9-bit data byte. You cannot choose 8 data bits, 2 stop bits and a parity bit, since this would constitute a 12-bit data byte, including 1 start bit. Further RS232 Options RS232 Type Options Publication 2755-6.14 Description Reserved 1 This option is reserved for future use. Reserved 2 This option is reserved for future use. ACK/NAK After a bar code is scanned and transmitted, if ACK/NAK is enabled, the reader waits for one of several host character commands to be sent from the host. If the host sends an ACK (06H) acknowledge command, the reader beeps and resumes scanning. If the reader receives a NAK (15H) negative acknowledge command, the reader re-transmits the bar code without a beep and does not resume scanning. CR When this option is enabled, the reader transmits a Carriage Return after each bar code. LF When this option is enabled, the reader transmits a Line Feed after each bar code. DTR Support When this option is enabled, the reader requires a Data Terminal Ready (DTR) signal to be present before scanning. Configuring your Reader 2–19 Publication 2755-6.14 2–20 Configuring your Reader RS232 Type Options Description When this option is enabled, the reader transmits Nixdorf code identifiers before each bar code as follows: Nixdorf ID Code Prefix Code UPC-E d UPC-A c EAN-8 g EAN-13 h Code 39 b Codabar a Code 93 i I 2 of 5 e Code 128 j RTS/CTS handshaking When this option is enabled, the reader outputs a Request To Send (RTS) signal and waits for a Clear To Send (CTS) signal before any data is transmitted. RTS/CTS (character) When this option is enabled, the reader activates and deactivates its RTS signal after each character it transmits. RTS/CTS (message) When this option is enabled, the reader activates and deactivates its RTS signal after each message it transmits. ETX suffix When this option is enabled, the reader transmits an End of Text after each bar code. STX prefix When this option is enabled, the reader transmits a Start of Text before each bar code. Tab prefix When this option is enabled, the reader transmits a TAB before each bar code. Tab suffix When this option is enabled, the reader transmits a TAB after each bar code. UPC prefix When this option is enabled, the reader transmits a prefix before any UPC/EAN bar codes. The prefixes are A (UPC A), E0 (UPC E), F (EAN 13), and FF (EAN 8). UPC suffix When this option is enabled, the reader transmits a suffix after any UPC/EAN bar codes. The suffixes are A (UPC A), E0 (UPC E), F (EAN 13), and FF (EAN 8). Schlumberger/Shell format When this option is enabled, the reader transmits an XOR’ed check digit of all the data characters at the end of the data stream. Table continued on the next page.

Transmit EAN–13 check digit When this option is enabled, the reader transmits the EAN–13 check digit. Transmit EAN–8 check digit When this option is enabled, the reader transmits the EAN–8 check digit. Configuring your Reader 2–27 Non-UPC Formatting Types Non-UPC Formatting Type Description CLSI Editing When this option is enabled, the reader performs CLSI library type editing before the information is transmitted to the host. This editing only works with 14–digit Codabar type labels. Transmit Codabar Start/Stop Characters When this option is enabled, the reader transmits Codabar’s start and stop characters before and after each bar code. This menu choice works in conjunction with the Codabar option in the Codes section. Both must be enabled for this feature to work. Transmit Code 39 Start/Stop Characters When this option is enabled, the reader transmits Code 39’s start and stop character. This menu choice works in conjunction with the Code 39 option in the Codes section. Both must be enabled for this feature to work. Transmit I2 of 5 Mod 10 check digit When this option is enabled, the reader transmits the Interleaved 2 of 5 (I2OF5) Mod 10 check character. This menu choice works in conjunction with the I2OF5 Mod 10 option in the Codes section. Both must be enabled for this feature to work. Transmit Code 39 Mod 43 check digit When this option is enabled, the reader transmits Code 39’s Mod 43 check character. This menu choice works in conjunction with the Code 39 Mod 43 option in the Codes section. Both must be enabled for this feature to work. Publication 2755-6.14 2–28 Configuring your Reader Length Specifiers This section provides you the option of restricting the size of the bar codes that the reader accepts. The following are the options available from the Length Specifiers section. From the following menus, you can program the reader to scan only bar codes that meet your defined criteria. Note: The length specifier options are available from the main configuration screen. As a result no pop–up menus are displayed here. Length Specifiers Type Publication 2755-6.14 Description I2 of 5 Locks (14 & 0) The number of digits in the I2 OF 5 (Interleaved 2 of 5) bar codes that you are scanning are specified in this field. Two individual values, ranging from 1-50 can be selected via the two fields below the I2 OF 5 option. The first field can be set to zero if you wish to have the length variable. If you are only scanning one length of I2 OF 5 bar codes, enter that value into the first field and enter 0 in the second field. This causes a lock on the first value. If you are scanning I2 OF 5 bar codes, it is strongly recommended that you specify bar code lengths when possible, to help avoid misreads. Others (Min 4) The minimum number of characters in the bar codes that are scanned can be specified in this field. If, for example, Min is set to 4, the reader does not scan bar codes that have less than 4 characters. To change this option, position the cursor on the field, type in the new number, and press ENTER. Others (Lock 0) If the reader is always scanning bar codes of the same length, the length of accepted bar codes can be programmed into the reader with the Lock feature. For example, if all the bar codes to be scanned are seven–digit Code 39, a 7 can be entered in the Lock field. If all bar codes being scanned are variable lengths, type a zero in this field. If the Lock feature is used, be sure that Mn is not greater than the Lock value. Configuring your Reader 2–29 Beeper/LED This section provides for all the supported beeper/LED options. Beeper/LED Type Description Beeper Tone The following beeper tone options are available: Normal, Alt 1, Alt 2, Alt 3, Alt 4, and no tone. LED Under normal conditions, the LED flashes upon good scan and transmit. You can disable the LED flash, if it is not necessary in your application (e.g., If the reader is to be used in an unmanned application, where the LED and beeper are not necessary). You may disable both functions and save the reader time in beeping and flashing. Publication 2755-6.14 2–30 Configuring your Reader Same Symbol Timeout Same symbol timeout lists the amount of time to wait before a communication error is detected and a message retry occurs. Available choices are none, 100, 200 and 500 milliseconds, 1.25, 2.00 seconds and an infinite amount of time. Publication 2755-6.14 Configuring your Reader 2–31 Transmission Delay This option allows you to create standard inter–character transmission delays of 1, 5 or 20 milliseconds, in addition to no delay.
